Ronnie and Sydney: Mountain Gazing

While starting their trip Aaron said, "There's something you should know." Sydney stopped again "What now?" "My name's not Aaron. It's Ronnie." "Why Aaron?" Sydney asked
"Because when I was in my orphanage, There was no internet, and phone calls were tracked. But they had a lot of TV shows on DVD." Ronnie said.

"Why not use your real name?"
Ronnie sighed. "I ran off a few times. Some of the kids there called me Runaway Ronnie. Guess it got to me." "Why'd you run?" Sydney asked.
"Honestly? Boredom."
"Does the girl with the death orbs know?"
"No. She'd think that would be a sign of weakness."
"How does she…"
"No fucking clue."

**"*

As they continued to walk, Aaron and Sydney came upon clearing the trees on a hill going to the south. It was a plain grass field leading up to forest and in the far distance was Mount Washington, the tallest mountain in the state.

Aaron stopped again. What now?" Sydney asked. Her patience was beginning to wear thin.

"Nothing. Just wanted to get a look at the mountain. Never see that before.

" Dude..how much longer?"

Suddenly, they both hear a car speeding towards them. It skidded to a sudden stop.

A woman rolled down the window. It's Beth. She holds up her hand. A bright red orb forms on her hand.

*Get in. Or Ill melt your faces off."
